Study of the mass and spin-parity of the Higgs boson
candidate via its decays to Z boson pairs
The CMS Collaboration
∗Abstract
A study is presented of the mass and spin-parity of the new boson recently observed at the LHC at a mass near 125 GeV. An integrated luminosity of 17.3 fb−1, collected by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, is used. The measured mass in the ZZ channel, where both Z bosons decay to e or µ pairs, is 126.2±0.6 (stat.) ±0.2 (syst.) GeV. The angular distributions of the lepton pairs in this channel are sensitive to the spin-parity of the boson. Under the assumption of spin 0, the present data are consistent with the pure scalar hypothesis, while disfavoring the pure pseudoscalar hypothesis.

Recently the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations announced the observation of a narrow reso-nance with mass near 125 GeV [1, 2] and properties consistent with those of the Higgs boson predicted in the standard model (SM) [3–5] of particle physics. This observation may help to elucidate the nature of spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking [6–11]. The main de-cay modes by which this resonance is observed include photon pairs (γγ) and massive vector boson pairs (WW and ZZ), where at least one of the vector bosons is off mass shell. As more proton-proton collision data are recorded at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), attention is turn-ing to the determination of various properties of this state, includturn-ing its mass, spin, parity, and couplings to SM particles.
The observation of the new boson in the γγ channel implies that the resonance must be a boson with spin 0 or 2; spin 1 is excluded by the Landau–Yang theorem [12, 13]. The decays of the new boson to ZZ in which both Z bosons decay to charged-lepton pairs (`+`−, where` =e or
µ) offer the possibility to probe the spin-parity and mass of the resonance. We describe these measurements in this Letter, using a data set recorded by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 17.3 fb−1, with 5.1 fb−1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and 12.2 fb−1at 8 TeV.
The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, described in detail elsewhere [14], is a large general-purpose device based on a silicon pixel/strip tracking system, a lead tungstate crystal electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), and a brass/scintillator hadron calorimeter, all inside the field volume of a 3.8 T solenoidal magnet. Outside the magnet is a multilayered muon detection system embedded in steel absorber plates, which form the return path for the magnetic flux, as well as forward calorimetry. The detector is particularly well suited for measuring electron and muon transverse momenta (pT) over a wide range.
The signal candidates are selected using well-identified and isolated prompt leptons. The event selection and lepton reconstruction are described elsewhere [2]. Events are selected online by triggers requiring the presence of either an ee, eµ, or µµ pair with asymmetric pT thresholds, or three electrons with reduced thresholds. The reconstructed electrons are required to have peT >7 GeV and to be within the tracker geometrical acceptance, at pseudorapidities|ηe| <2.5, where η ≡ −ln[tan(θ/2)]in terms of the polar angle θ. The corresponding requirements for reconstructed muons are pµT>5 GeV and|ηµ| <2.4. The selection requires the presence of two pairs of leptons. The leptons in a pair must be of opposite charge and same flavor. Photons with pγ
T >2 GeV are reconstructed within|ηγ| <2.4 and considered as possible final-state radiation (FSR) candidates. An FSR photon is retained and associated with the closest lepton in a lepton pair only if the dilepton plus photon mass is closer to the nominal Z boson mass. One lepton pair is required to be loosely consistent with originating from a Z decay by demanding that the invariant mass of the pair be in the range 40–120 GeV. The first pair, denoted Z1, is the one nearest the Z in mass. The second pair, denoted Z2, is required to satisfy 12< mZ2 <120 GeV. Among the four selected leptons forming the two Z boson candidates, at least one should have pT >20 GeV and another should have pT >10 GeV.
The selected sample is dominated by continuum electroweak production of ZZ/Zγ∗, which constitutes irreducible background, estimated from Monte Carlo simulation as in the previous analysis [2]. A small background from reducible sources remains, mainly from Z+X events, where X consists of two reconstructed leptons, at least one of which is a nonprompt lepton, including misidentified leptons, leptons from heavy-quark decays, or photon conversions. The reducible background is measured from signal-free control regions in experimental data [2]. The performance of the signal selection and background suppression has been improved com-pared with the previous analysis [2] by using a three-electron trigger, using better muon

struction and momentum measurement algorithms, fine-tuning the electron isolation require-ment, and by using a regression technique, as previously used for the H→γγanalysis [2], for the contribution of the ECAL to the electron momentum measurement. For similar reducible background rates, the absolute signal detection efficiency is improved by up to 4% in the 4e channel and up to 2% in the 2e2µ channel. The resolution of the reconstructed mass of the 4` system is improved, relatively, by about 10% in the 4e and 2e2µ channels. Signal candidate masses are measured with a per-event mass precision varying between 1% and 3%. The de-tection efficiency for a SM Higgs boson of mH = 126 GeV, with leptons within the geometrical acceptance, is 31% in the 4e channel, 42% in the 2e2µ channel, and 59% in the 4µ channel. Systematic uncertainties are evaluated from the observed data for the trigger efficiency (1.5%) and the combined lepton reconstruction, identification, and isolation efficiencies. These range from 1.2% in the 4µ channel to about 11% in the 4e channel. Systematic uncertainties on energy-momentum calibration and energy resolution are incorporated through their effects on the re-constructed mass distributions. Uncertainties of 0.2%, 0.2%, and 0.1%, are assigned on the mass scale for the 4e, 2e2µ, and 4µ channels, respectively. The effect of the energy resolution uncer-tainties is taken into account by incorporating a 20% uncertainty on the simulated width of the signal mass peak. To validate the level of accuracy with which the absolute mass scale and resolution are known [2, 15], we use Z→ ``,Υ→ ``, and J/ψ→ ``events. The limited statisti-cal precision of the control samples is included as a systematic uncertainty on the final results. Since the reducible background is derived from control regions, its prediction is independent of the uncertainties on the integrated luminosity. The integrated luminosity uncertainty (2.2% at 7 TeV [16] and 4.4% at 8 TeV [17]) enters the evaluation of the expected ZZ background and sig-nal rates. Systematic uncertainties on the Higgs boson cross section (about 18%) and branching fraction (2%) are taken from Refs. [18, 19].

range 70 < m4` <180 GeV. The contribution expected from a SM Higgs boson of mass mH = 126 GeV is displayed. The peak from Z → 4` decay, studied in detail elsewhere [20], is ob-served at the nominal Z boson mass. The signal from the new boson is a distinct peak above the expected background, consistent with the signal lineshape depicted in the figure. The background is locally flat and dominated by the ZZ/Zγ∗ contribution. In the mass range, 121.5 < m4` < 130.5 GeV, corresponding to the three central bins around the new boson peak in Fig. 1a, we observe 17 events: there are 6, 8 and 3 events in the 4µ, 2e2µ, and 4e final states respectively. This compares to an expectation of 6.8±0.8 (stat.) ±0.3 (syst.) from SM back-ground.
Further separation between the signal and background is provided by a discriminant KD that incorporates the production and decay kinematics. In this analysis, we make use of observables defined for each event in the 4`center-of-mass frame; the rapidity and transverse momentum of the 4`system depend on the production mechanism and are ignored. We use a matrix element likelihood approach [2, 21–23], which combines, for each value of m4`, the two dilepton masses mZ1 and mZ2 and five angular variables denoted~Ω. We introduce a kinematic discriminant KD using the probability density in the dilepton masses and angular variables,P (mZ1, mZ2,~Ω|m4`). The discriminant is defined as
KD ≡ Psig Psig+ Pbkg = " 1+ Pbkg(mZ1, mZ2, ~ Ω|m4`) Psig(mZ1, mZ2,~Ω|m4`) #−1 . (1)
A scalar SM Higgs boson is assumed for the signal. The separation between the signal and background is relatively insensitive to the particular choice of a signal spin-parity hypoth-esis [22]. The minimum p-value [24], which characterizes the probability for a background fluctuation to be at least as large as the observed maximum excess around mH ' 126 GeV, is obtained from the measurements of m4`and KD. It corresponds to a significance of 4.5 standard deviations, which is to be compared to an expected significance of 5.0 standard deviations for the SM Higgs boson.
We measure the mass of the boson using a maximum-likelihood fit to three-dimensional dis-tributions combining for each event the m4`, the associated per-event uncertainties δm4` [15]
calculated from the individual lepton momentum errors, and KD. The signal strength µ (de-fined below) is a free parameter in this mass fit. A scalar SM Higgs boson is assumed for the signal lineshape. Figure 1b shows the value of−2∆ lnL, whereLis the likelihood, as a func-tion of mH, with and without the effects of systematic uncertainties included. An estimate for the mass of 126.2±0.6 (stat.) ±0.2 (syst.) GeV is obtained. Combined with the result from the γγ channel [2], we obtain a mass of 125.8±0.4 (stat.) ±0.4 (syst.) GeV. This value improves upon and supersedes the previous result.
We then compare the observations with the expectation for the SM Higgs boson at the mass value fixed to 125.8 GeV, and obtain a measurement of the signal strength µ = σ/σSM, the production cross section times the branching fraction relative to the SM expectation. This is evaluated from a scan of a profile likelihood ratio. We perform an unbinned maximum-likelihood fit of the two-dimensional distributionsP (m4`|mH) × P (KD|m4`)for the signal, and P (m4`) × P (KD|m4`)for the background. The fit is performed simultaneously in the 4e, 2e2µ, and 4µ channels. We obtain a signal strength of µ = 0.80+−0.350.28, consistent with the expectation for a SM Higgs boson.
The kinematics of the production and decay of the new boson in the ZZ→4`channel are sensi-tive to its spin and parity [21–23, 25–35]. To distinguish any two spin-parity hypotheses, we use discriminants of the formD12 = P1/(P1+ P2), whereP1 andP2are the probability densities in mZ1 , mZ2, and~Ω corresponding to the two spin parity hypotheses we wish to discriminate and include parametrizations of the m4`distribution for a resonance at the mass of the new bo-son. We define two spin-parity discriminants: DPSfor the discrimination between a SM Higgs boson and a pure pseudoscalar state JP = 0−; DGSfor discrimination between a SM Higgs bo-son and a spin-two tensor state JP = 2+with the minimal graviton-like coupling to gluons in production and to Z bosons in decay. We also define a discriminant DSB = Psig/(Psig+ Pbkg), similar to KD but where the probability densities also include m4`, for the discrimination be-tween a SM Higgs boson, with JP =0+, and the background.
We then fit the observed data in a two-dimensional plane of DPSor DGSversus DSB in the mass range 106 < m4` < 141 GeV and obtain the likelihood values L1 andL2for two hypotheses of each signal type plus background. Figure 2a shows the observed projections of DSB for events in this mass range, and for a SM Higgs boson signal with mH = 126 GeV. Figures 2b and 2c show the projections of the DPS and DGSdiscriminants, for events with DSB > 0.5. In these latter two cases, the distributions for the spin-parity states being distinguished are also illustrated in the plot. More data are needed for significant discrimination of the 0+ from the 2+hypothesis.
Figure 3 shows the distributions of the log-likelihood ratio−2 lnL0−/L0+ from
pseudoexperi-ments under the assumptions of either a pure scalar or a pure pseudoscalar model. The arrow indicates the observed value. Under the assumption of spin 0, the test statistic formed from a profile likelihood ratio λ= L0−/L0+of the 0−and 0+hypotheses yields a p-value of 0.072% for
0−and a p-value of 0.7 for 0+, with−2 ln λ= 5.5 favoring 0+. This corresponds to a CLs[36] value of 2.4%, a more conservative value for judging whether the observed data are compati-ble with 0−. The results presented here have been confirmed with independent methods [37] based on leading-order matrix elements [38].
In summary, we have measured the mass of the new boson to be 126.2±0.6 (stat.)±0.2 (syst.) GeV in the ZZ channel, where both Z bosons decay to lepton pairs. Combining results from the γγ and ZZ channels, we obtain a mass of 125.8±0.4 (stat.) ±0.4 (syst.) GeV, which improves upon previously published results. At this mass the signal strength µ = σ/σSM is measured to be µ = 0.80+−0.350.28. Under the assumption of spin zero, the observed data are consistent with the
